They already do that, just not as frequently. They change price tags of items every day by hand

Well the german feddit.de stopped working where I initially was after the reddit exodus thing. Feddit.org became the best successor. They have a sensible block list and a lot of german and european communities so I like it here. And I think the mod team is doing a pretty good job

That's why FOSS is like the only real way to avoid enshittification. There is less of a profit incentive. And if the original team or project sells out forks are always an option. Sadly even with traditional hardware item or household machines things are created in a way were they break after a few years once they're out of warranty so you have replacement. On that note there's a stream of a light bulb that's more than a hundred years old and still continuously running

It will be reformed soon tho. I hope they find the right balance between cutting costs and keeping good practices in driving education tho

Motorola is sadly still owned by google. I still wish we had the Fairphone x Graphene combo tbh

Edit: My bad, Google sold Motorola to Lenovo over a decade ago

In Germany I'd say in nearly all occasions cars would stop if I actively walk towards the crosswalk. If I just stand on the side and look and wait its not that uncommon that cars still don't yield even if they should

When you learn to ignore the haters. Idk why they don't just block you in silence and move on. I find your hornyposting quite funny

Just buy ebooks from sites that don't fucking you over in the future. If you already have a kindle its annoying but pocketbooks and other eReaders are right there.

 

I know Wero is still in its infancy and the digital Euro is still a few years away, even if you believe there'll be no delays. But depending on where you live you can already do a lot for EU financial independence.

  • Use cash (very easy but not ideal in many situations/online)
  • Use a national payment providers:
    • Germany 🇩🇪: Girocard
    • Netherlands 🇳🇱: iDEAL
    • France 🇫🇷: Cartes Bancaires
    • Poland 🇵🇱: BLIK
    • Italy 🇮🇹:Bancomat/PagoBancomat
    • Many other options, check for your country
  • Use SEPA direct debit mandate or wire money directly if you can
  • Sign up to a european crypto exchange and use it for direct purchases. although I get if you don't like crypto but this is just for direct purchases

Otherwise American Payment providers usually get at least 1% and if you use card payment a lot over time that can really add up. This also mostly makes sense when buying from a european company. For US companies it really doesn't matter much. I've been trying to replace Amazon with Otto and I use SEPA direct debit mandate to avoid fees.

 

Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.
